Maintenance of Heat Treating Equipment

ASM HOMESTUDY COURSE (6 Lesson Series)

Course Overview:

This course focuses on the maintenance of industrial furnaces and associated thermal processing equipment. Batch and continuos furnaces, both with and without prepared protective atmospheres, are included. Associated equipment is covered for atmosphere generators, vacuum, and induction heating.

Course Outline:

1. Maintenance of Ovens and Furnaces Operated Without Prepared Atmospheres: ovens; steam atmospheres in ovens; furnaces; high-temperature furnaces; references.

2. Maintenance of Continuous Atmosphere Systems: furnace systems; metallic components; atmosphere control systems; quenching systems; summary.

3. Maintenance of Gas Atmosphere Systems: gaseous atmospheres and their components; gas generating equipment; trouble shooting.

4. Salt Bath Equipment: description of salt baths; quenching furnaces; neutral heating and hardening furnaces; cooling systems; repair or replacement practice; furnaces for safe treatment; quenching and washing systems; ventilation; work supports.

5. Maintenance of Vacuum Controls: physical principles; vacuum heat processing; designs and types of furnaces; pumps and pumping systems; insulation systems; ranges of vacuum; leak identification and correction; cycle control systems.

6. Maintenance of Induction Heating Equipment: log keeping; quenching; temperature control; maintenance of inductors and quench systems; quality control; maintenance; power supplies and components.

Who should Enrol

This course was designed to provide a supplement to several other heat-treating courses available. Personnel involved in any of these courses, or involved in heat-treating, would benefit from this course.
